Checking In

The almost white noise of traffic, one street off a main drag, filters in the screen door along with sunlight and a light breeze.

It's another ridiculously beautiful day in SoCal, with Handy J singing an interestingly Country/Western themed melange as he does the dishes in the kitchen.

Returned from a trip to Denver--another location with beauty and nice weather to spare. I was lucky to escape there with my possessions intact, as my compatriots were of the rascally sort.

On this trip I learned it is incredibly hard, if  not impossible, to make sexual harassment charges stick against people below the age of five.

Which is a shame, because those little buggers know it and there's some real shady stuff going on out there.

If she no lika your answer, she eata your face!

I'm sure everybody has seen this, but just in case. This is we can show the aliens to stop them from wiping us out. He's Earth's only hope:

That's one damn catchy song. Save us SCobie,  you're our only hope.

Visiting with the Woosters made me realize how much I like kids and cats. I actually love them.

I miss them when they aren't around. I just don't love them enough to have my own. Other people's will suffice.

The Wolverine was a fun movie. Hugh Jackman is so immensely likeable and pushes the limits of belief with the physicality he brings to the role. (Physicality = 889793243234j937 lbs of muscle).

I continue to be delighted and a little awed by how Marvel is pulling all the threads of their movies together. Their universe is so disjointed, in terms of who owns rights to what. And yet. . . there's always that cameo or that end credit scene or that Stan Lee appearance.

By the way, did Stan Lee appear in The Wolverine? I don't remember seeing him. The movie itself was a competent update to the original Wolverine mini series involving his time in Japan.

I would like to take a moment to protest, again, that the Origins official back story of Wolverine blows. I was so disappointed when I got those comics. They got it all wrong, destroyed the mystery, limited his experiences, etc. Fanboy wank.

But seriously, how much cooler would The Wolverine been if set in feudal Japan(AS THE BABY JEBUS INTENDED) and he was a samurai? If you don't think that's cool, then we probably shouldn't hang out.

I'm on a new med regimen which has me pinging between hibernation sleep and carsick jitters. Bleh. I'll document my travails for posterity some other time. For now, I find myself in the wacky world of self medication and monitoring. Which, as I pause to reflect on it, has kinda been what's been going on all along. Hmm.

I have so much to do, and you know what?

The NFG Tour continues!!!!

 In a world. . . where no Effs are Geed. . . what becomes possible?
